I have vegged 35 days 24/7 in FFOF with no nutrients. Then I started 12-12. I then introduced nutrients at 1/4 strength. After that I just use plain water for the next two waterings and repeat Nutrient water. At this rate I have gradually worked my way up to 3/4 nutes and plants are loving it. However with plants only getting nutes every third watering.... I wonder if they are getting enough? I heard somebody else say they do the opposite of me and feed, feed, water. I feed, water, water, then feed again. What is the correct way to add Nutrients in a soil grow?

I feed with each watering I just do light feeding of the bloom nutes and full feedings of calmg, bio root and sweeteners. My plants only get straight water in the last 1-2 weeks for a "flush". If you do this you will need to watch the plants to make sure you are not over feeding them and nute burn and back off the amount of nutes.

Interesting....but Id really have to back off my nutes eh? I have worked up to 3/4 strength bloom nutes. So I guess Id need to feed more like 1/4 strength if feeding every watering?

Yeah I did 3 ml per gallon last watering and got some burnt tips. Its trial and error, each plant and strain is different. I just feel that a little each watering is better than a lot every few waterings. I will slowly increase the bloom nutes as the plant can use them up and with the increase I normally then only do bloom nutes every other watering. I always feed calmg and bio root every watering though, just no bloom nutes.
